Drawbacks

Attack on wings skill

Your ability to turn attacks through the middle into wing attacks is influenced by the total passing skill of all your outfield players. When calculating your AOW skill, an experience bonus is added for each involved player, as normal.

Considerations

The following contents are based on the opinion of Hattrick users — which means that their veracity and accuracy have not been confirmed by any official statement, and consequently they do not necessarily reflect the game reality. Please take this into consideration!

Levels

With an exceptional AIM skill, you will get something like 40% more attacks through the middle. To qualify for "exceptional", more is required of teams in a top level game than in a Divison IV fixture, and the same relative level is taken into account for the other tactic types as well. At a minimum you are guaranteed to get 20% more attack through the middle. Depending on your AIM skill, you will end up somewhere in between these two extremes.

===Effectiveness===

There is some debate over the effectiveness of this tactic, with some trainers feeling it is not as effective as the rules suggest.
